Was RR64 good? I always dismissed it as a ghetto R4 wannabe. Big fan of the series in general, though - the games are still a great time.

Tried this out last night. Looks really sharp and clean on the Switch OLED in handheld mode, but there's some little oddities visually that are present that aren't on real hardware (and other emulators). Nothing huge, probably only people that played it a ton on real hardware will notice. Will be great for short spurts, a couple races here and there, save state, come back to later in the day.

It's definitely no R4, one of my favorite games of that gen, but I always enjoyed RR64. The new track is pretty good.

That's pretty accurate. It's a novelty curio which doesn't excel in any particular area. Like RRDS, It's made by Western devs and everything feels 'off'. It lacks the style, polish and vibe of Japanese RR games. It's actually not bad compared to other N64 racers though.
